  • newquestion15 newquestion's dump (@newquestion15) reported

    since i can't play overwatch 2 on EITHER of my PCs (they're both dual core cpus and OW2 hates dual cores for some unspecified reason, a problem completely absent on OW1), I will have no choice but to play OW2 either on my switch or on my ps4 i have even worse aim there

  • LUCHTLOPER69 Darth Dumbass (@LUCHTLOPER69) reported

    Tried #Overwatch2. It’s more like a chapter update than a full fledged sequel. Also for some reason it runs horrid on my PC. Never had that problem with Overwatch 1.

  • six_cyx Cyx (@six_cyx) reported

    Please don't fix the ragdolls in Overwatch 2, they're too funny

  • X3n0verse_ Xenoverse | 🔞Catboy Vtuber (@X3n0verse_) reported

    I forgot how easy it was for other players to mald in Overwatch, especially in casual. Like dude, what's the issue here? If they wanna cry, it's prefered to cry in ranked where there's at least SOME digital calue lost or gained based on performance.

  • solochicktravel PlantsNotPills #checkmate (@solochicktravel) reported

    @PlayOverwatch @Blizzard_Ent I Know Overwatch is having a lot of technical issues but will I get the skins that I paid for back?

  • NFiely Morale (@NFiely) reported

    There are so many glairing issues with the @PlayOverwatch UI. Its a straight-up regression from what overwatch 1 had. So many features that were there and just.. arent now. Many more features that should be there and just arent.

  • ramen_stew miki (@ramen_stew) reported

    who's been having problems for overwatch unranked queue? it always takes me hours queueing to no avail. i haven't been able to play anything other than custom games since day one. what's going on? my accounts have completely merged too so idk what's wrong.

  • dann280 MrShatner (@dann280) reported

    @PlayApex "Day 969: We still have no sight on cross progression. Overwatch 2 has done it with (granted with some problems for some). It seems my ps4 skins will have to stay buried until cross progression comes at the horizon." TL;DR - Give us cross progression already

  • imfynd1 fynd1 (@imfynd1) reported

    overwatch 2 has not corrected the primary issue overwatch 1 had, the fact that most of the players are actually ants who perform actions based on instinct than any conscious thought

  • cameronluce_ Cameron Luce (@cameronluce_) reported

    @LilThiccin @NoContextBrits @LilThiccin keeps posting about overwatch but isn't overwatching his lack of game. skill issue.

  • Zelse007 Zelse (@Zelse007) reported

    I said it years ago and I'll say it again, Dva is a problem in Overwatch.

  • DualshockDreams Dualshocks and Daydreams 🎃 (@DualshockDreams) reported

    Currently doing a little writing and video work on something Overwatch 2 related. I'd like to note I think the game plays well, didn't seem janky, and I personally didn't have many server problems. But my lord, setting up a Battlenet account? Well, you'll see. #Overwatch2

  • alBallista |🏳️‍⚧️| Skyla~ ❤️ (@alBallista) reported

    I dont hate overwatch 2. The game isn't perfect, but nobody can expect it to be so. The real problem is Activision blizzard, and the only solution to that is the deal with Microsoft to go through. Let's just hope it doesn't die in 4 months like halo because it's really fun

  • d4rkie D4RK-PH0ENiX (@d4rkie) reported

    Overwatch turning into a “battlepass” game made me login and play only for the dailies. 3 games and I’m out because there’s no incentive to play longer since your progression is only the battlepass exp (used to be levels and badges for said levels)

  • CautiousKieran Guy DeBored (@CautiousKieran) reported

    Jus started getting the LC-208 error on Overwatch 2. I want my money back.

  • BumpyRumpy Rumpy bumpy (@BumpyRumpy) reported

  • Mellowzac zacdupreez17@gmail.com (@Mellowzac) reported

    @XboxSupport hello,in overwatch 2 ,every time i get a trophy the game signs me out,can you fix it please so while im playing,in a match i achieve a trophy,and then the game signs me out

  • mr_solis_tweets Mr Solis (@mr_solis_tweets) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent @BlizzardCS #OW2 I love the latest update that was meant to fix things. I can't play the game without it crashing to desktop constantly, so therefore I don't play the game anymore. Problem fixed. Acknowledge the problem before it becomes a bigger problem. #Overwatch

  • CryatoicArt 9/11/22 (@CryatoicArt) reported

    I'm getting tired of the more frequent crashes on Overwatch lately. Switching to F2P really ****** us over... Fix your **** Blizzard.

  • Spdrt88 Spaghetti Pizza Does Random Things (@Spdrt88) reported

    The problem with shutting down overwatch servers was the physical copies of the game. I mean blizzard really?

  • _xerv__ Xer (@_xerv__) reported

    @JoleTaris @odd_tones @DailyTF2Memes Overwatch may be kinda *** but Paladins ain’t much better either So many new champions and so many skins but balance and bug fixing is horrendous at times Hi Rez/Evilmojo may be arguably better but not my a whole lot, they want more money through cosmetics not fixing problems

  • jojo67723207 TwoToneTako (@jojo67723207) reported

    You shouldn’t get banned in overwatch 2 competitive rn with all the error codes especially LC-208 witch won’t let you reconnect until the competitive match is over and gives you a matchmaking ban.

  • owenhlla Owen (@owenhlla) reported

    @BlizzardCS fix the career profile, stats are not being updated for overwatch

  • Nicholas_UWS Nicholas (@Nicholas_UWS) reported

    I’ve never really had much an issue in lagging before, overwatch 2 is the first game where it’s really become apparent. I’m wondering if that’s because it’s just that the game is taking more to load and my ( wired ) connection can’t handle it, or if it’s a setting I’m running.

  • hanako_kun_07 wholesome_hanako_07 (@hanako_kun_07) reported

    @PlayOverwatch I claimed the Kiriko voice line and skin on Twitch but it isn’t appearing on my Overwatch account, please fix this :(

  • scoutingtheport bri 🦇 (@scoutingtheport) reported

    got kicked from an overwatch 2 comp match bc i kept lagging and now i’m suspended for like ten minutes wtf

  • deathmats h. dmats (@deathmats) reported

    I like overwatch but I keep running into server errors so I'm gonna wait until it's a little more stable to start playing again

  • RoyH80849301 RoyH (@RoyH80849301) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Login yesterday and I had -75% XP for ten games because I got kicked from a match what the hell overwatch

    @PlayOverwatch I claimed the Kiriko skin on Twitch but it isn’t appearing on my Overwatch account, please fix this :(

  • Nicholas_UWS Nicholas (@Nicholas_UWS) reported

    Hey @BlizzardCS do you think you guys could help me troubleshoot something in overwatch two? I’ve noticed that intermittently, I’ll tend to get a lag spike where all the heroes speed around the map for a few seconds and then it fixes itself.
